Is someone checking human summarizers as well? I mean, humans make mistakes but also generally adds flavours, and can focus on things due to inherent bias. In fact, this is actually an area were bots can probably produce more factually correct and unbiased summaries than humans (depends on the quality of course).
The way past both is to actually read the article?
Erm, well, yes. That should happen too. Tends to in a good community with a range of views.
I asked a single question on a single facet of the current internet. For my own information, because I've found reading a range of articles about Chat GPT useful for understanding and beginning to form my own opinion on them. And rather than add any helpful information, you've gone down this tangent? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Your "In fact" rebuttal, not needed btw, is technically true. I'm more interested in the current actual state of things with a particular bot, not a hypothetical.
Human-written posts differ in tone from the summary-bot. The bot "writes" more in the tone of an article, which tends to mean a tone of authority. That affects how the "facts" resurface in my memory. Maybe it works differently for the bright young things who've grown up with the internet. IDK ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Of course reading the articles is important. I don't have the spoons to read every article I come across though. I know I don't have much of a life, but still ๐ Scanning comments is a bit more like human interaction and I find that helpful in deciding whether or not to click through to the article.
And before anyone jumps in with "Then the summary bot will be really helpful to you", please note that my question was about the accuracy of the bot and if anyone was gathering information. I will make my own observations over time but would also like to learn from others'.
